We’ve been testing that special unit buff for a week now, and will be meeting sometime today or Monday to give it a thumbs up or down. Big thanks to our testers for providing your feedback on the beta boards. We don’t always have time to reply directly, but we do read through and consider everything. Keep an eye on your email, because we’ll be needing your help again very soon for something a bit more interesting.

King of the Unit Shuffle

Congratulations are in order for TheGreatErenan, who has conquered probably the craziest tournament idea you guys have come up with. In the Micro Strategic Starting Unit Tournament (TM), competitors dueled using starting units only. That’s right: perma-death for everyone involved. As you can see from watching a replay: this means LOTS of hopping around and fog of war manipulation.

TheGreatErenan mastered the art of the unit shuffle and came out on top, and for that we salute him.

Any word? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Do Brambles now start with a halo of barriers in all empty spaces when they root themselves; allowing them to quickly become useful and offset the very high costs of barrier expansion? Please say yes!
